Topic: Same or Different DBs for r4 and dstu3

Hey everyone,
Have a small question that I might already know the answer to. I am planning for a HAPI FHIR JPA implementation with a Postgres database. Is it possible to use the same database for both R4 and DSTU3 HAPI FHIR servers? Or will I need to provision two separate databases? Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
Wanted to follow up on this. I noticed that the hfj_resource table had a res_version column. Does this mean I can point both my r4 and stu3 server to the same database?
Thanks!

res_version is the version of the resource it self - it is not bound to the FHIR version

Thanks Jens! In that case, can I connect different versions of a FHIR server to the same database? Wanted to check if I would be required to procure a second database if I want to support both r4 and stu3

Got the answer to this. Tons of errors when reading data that is not the server's version and doesn't look like there's a search param for filtering resources of a specific version. Will move forward with the 2 DBs approach
